In this letter Varmus lays out his research plans for his sabbatical year (1978-79) in Mike Fried's laboratory at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, namely the study of integration sites of mouse mammary tumor virus in mouse cells, and of mutants of avian leukosis viruses whose oncogene has been deleted (so-called deletion mutants). The letter also highlights the response of scientists to guidelines on recombinant DNA research recently issued by the National Institutes of Health.
